It was held on July 10–14. The event is one of the world's leading exhibitions in the maritime and shipbuilding industry.

The exhibition extended to more than 15,000 square meters with 353 companies from 29 countries, new marine technologies were showcased at outdoor stage and in the water area of the Gulf of Finland. The show brought together 50 official delegations from 36 countries. More than 46 000 specialists shared their experience regarding shipbuilding, navigation, communications, and control systems, naval aviation, new materials and advanced technologies.

https://unigine.com/en/news/2019/explore-new-vegetation-features-in-unigine-2-8Mon, 15 Jul 2019 04:47:00 +0000olgaVegetation plays a huge role in different scenarios: outdoor scenes, architectural visualization, and even aircraft simulations. In UNIGINE 2.8, we introduced a number of improvements to our greenery look more immersive and convincing. Here we’d like to share our progress on the visual quality of vegetation objects: trees, bushes, grass, etc.

Better Impostors with Depth Texture

Updated Subsurface Scattering (SSS) for Leaves and Grass

Natural Tree Topology with Angle Fade and Rotate Normals Options

Improved Anti-Aliasing

https://unigine.com/en/news/2019/new-video-tutorial-physicsTue, 09 Jul 2019 07:22:00 +0000olgaUnlike many other engines using third-party solutions, UNIGINE has its own built-in physics module. It is capable of simulating different types of physical interactions and impacts. The module provides support for gravity and collision detection, friction and bouncing, buoyancy and two-way water interaction, joints with motors and springs, procedural destruction, external physical forces, etc. Moreover, thanks to the support of double precision coordinates, planet-scale virtual worlds with correct physics can be created.

https://unigine.com/en/news/2019/unigine-visit-to-lima-2019Thu, 18 Apr 2019 12:50:00 +0000olgaUNIGINE team recently came back from the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition 2019 held in March 26-30 in Malaysia. LIMA is well-known for the largest show of its kind within the Asia Pacific region. This year it attracted participants from Australia, Belarus, China, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Russia, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the U.S.

One of our valuable customers Ikramatic Systems SDN BHD demonstrated its simulation solutions powered by UNIGINE SDK for pilots training. The company has developed several flight simulators for the Government of Malaysia including helicopters and fighter jets. At LIMA they introduced a Flight Training Device (FTD) based on Swiss made Pilatus PC-7 trainer aircraft designed to meet FTD Level 7 of FAA Standard. The system comes with full-sized PC7 cockpit and 5-channel visual system covering 256° x 40° field of view.

The original 1.0 version was released in April, 2017 and became popular for its top-notch visuals powered by UNIGINE 2 Engine, extreme hardware stability testing and accurate results. Superposition continued a GPU benchmark series preserving the legacy of already widely spread Heaven and Valley.
